Guest fountainhall Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 The Graham cracker was originally marketed as "Dr. Graham's Honey Biskets" (Reverend Sylvester Graham: July 5, 1794 – September 11, 1851) and was conceived of as a health food as part of the Graham Diet, a regimen to suppress what he considered unhealthy carnal urges, the source of many maladies according to Graham. Reverend Graham would often lecture about the adverse effects of masturbation or "self-abuse" as it was commonly called at the time. One of his many theories was that one could curb one's sexual appetite by eating bland foods. Another man who held this belief was Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, the inventor of the Corn Flakes cereal. (Source: wikipedia) Take that idiotic belief to its inevitable conclusion and the peoples of Thailand, eastern India and Szechuan, for example, must be raving sex maniacs! Quote
Bob Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 Hmmm.....I used to eat a lot of Graham crackers as a snack around the time I hit puberty and my theory is that eating them makes you want to masturbate. At least that's my story (and I'm sticking to it...). Quote
